Before you step into the radically retro tattoo space that is Dark Neon, we’d like to introduce you to two of the first faces you’ll encounter: Heath and Kaelin.
Heath is one of two partners who founded Dark Neon, as well as the head tattoo artist.
Kaelin is one of the most capable apprentices we’ve ever had the honour of training.
In our first episode of the Neon Wired podcast, the two discuss their primary art influences, what tattoo styles they prefer and which tattoo artists inspire them. Learn more about the artists’ experience as young tattoo enthusiasts as they detail a few key childhood anecdotes.
They also dive deeper into some tattoo industry current affairs and discuss the news that certain ingredients and pigments in coloured tattoo ink will be banned in the European Union this month.
According to the Times of Malta, twenty-five pigments (mostly red, orange and yellow ones) and more than 4,000 hazardous chemicals found in other inks will be banned this month. This means registered tattoo artists in the EU will no longer have access to a bunch of colours.
We’re very keen to do more of these discussion-format videos/podcasts, and we’re open to your input and questions for future videos! Go ahead and check out our YouTube channel, subscribe and switch on notifications if you’d like to see more of the Dark Neon faces, tattoo process videos and Q&As.
Check out our Instagram profile, our Facebook page and, of course, our bookings page where we facilitate a contactless booking and payment process. We also live stream the tattooing process on Twitch, so be sure to follow our channel.
